By MarieR

Ingredients

• Active: 10 minutes Total: 50 minutes
• 4 Pounds Small Potatoes
• 2 1/4 Cups Kosher Salt
• 1 Stick Unsalted Butter(for Dipping)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put the potatoes, 8 cups water and the salt in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes,
2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to remove excess water. Let the skins dry in the colander so that some of the salt crystallizes.
3. Meanwhile, put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Serve the potatoes hot with the butter for dipping.
